New things are easy to oppose because … well, they are untried. Take bus rapid transit. If you don’t have #BRT, any bad outcome can be imagined. It is why you should finish one new thing and invite people to experience it before starting a second. Denver is building one BRT line and wants to build another. Why not wait? https://denverite.com/2026/05/14/colorado-boulevard-brt-plan/

The appeal of bus rapid transit is that it is quicker and cheaper to build than rail #transit. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. As we see in Denver, this is because #BRT often requires rethinking how a busy road works. Meanwhile, businesses along the way must cope with lengthy road closures. https://denverite.com/2026/05/06/colfax-bus-construction-update/

🚌💨 No new blog this week, but here’s one from the archive on Montreal’s BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) line.

Hard to believe it’s been in operation for nearly three years! It should have been a tram or a metro line, but it’s better than nothing.

The fundamental flaw of adding #BRT in #Fairfax County is that County transportation planners are forcing everybody to retain the same number of traffic lanes for regular ol' gas-guzzling cars, rather than letting space be divested from cars and invested in public transit.
